Earth - Legacy of Dissolution

1. Mogwai - Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine
2. Russell Haswell - Tibetan Quaaludes (Waveset Sloth Mix)
3. Jim O'Rourke - Thrones and Dominions
4. Autechre - Coda Maestoso In F(Flat) Minor
5. Justin Broadrick - Harvey
6. Sunn O))) - Rule the Divine (Mysteria Caelestis Mugivi)

E = Earth. Or an Earth tribute/remix record, anyway. Most of these tribute happenings happen to suck ass with a straw, but I've ended up liking this one quite a bit. The end result of a tribute record usually has quite a lot to do with a) the subject being given tribute and b) the talents giving tribute. Looking at this roster, there's no way they could fuck this one up. The Sunn track is interesting because it is a departure from the black metal-tinged dirges they've been divining from beyond as of late, but Justin Broadrick (Jesu, Godflesh) steals the show with what could be an unreleased track from the gorgeous Silver. This one's for you, Dylan.

Sunn O))) - La Mort Noir dans Esch/Alzette

1. Orthodox Caveman
2. Hallow Cave
3. Reptile Lux
4. Candlegoat - Bathori

Super limited tour only discs sold on Sunn O)))'s last big jaunt. It's a pity these weren't made more widely available, because the material here is potent stuff. Lots of Sunn satellites appear, such as Dylan Carlson of Earth, Malefic of Xasthur provides mean vocals, and there's some fucked up trombone shit on "Hallow Cave" courtesy of Steve Moore who's playing trombone for the current incarnation of Earth. Apparently there was some doom drama concerning Malefic and Sunn, resulting in both parties publicly acknowledging they aren't going to be working together anytime soon. Hope this is droney enough for you.
